also, i forgot to mention that i am switching to 2" net cups cause after testing the 3.75" and the 2". The 2" seal better.

400 clones for your first grow? I wish you good luck, but that seems pretty overwhelming. That's way out of my league, and I am not a first-timer.

i don't think i will ever have 400 clones at one time, but i will have the capacity. I'm not sure if you guys have seen HATCH's setup for clones but thats what i have set up.

Not hating here I just can not see cost effectiveness I see aeroflo 2 60 site units all the time for 700 and then they usually tack 99.99 for shipping hell Hydro empire gives free shipping on any order over 200. I bet you mention that to any other online seller and they will match it. All this crap is usually drop shipped from sunlight supply anyways.

and My buddy just picked up a 60 site aeroflo2 for 350 on craigslist. I am just saying there are better deals out there then people think. I know I didn't pay anywhere near retail for my units. I just found a good vendor that knows I will spend my money with him if he makes the price right.

thats right man! go big or go home! you must be keeping plants very small bcus im using a 10x20 area with 8000W for only 150 plants. aero is great but for me is very hard to maintain the system with large scale grows. if i had 400 clones i would want about 20 1000W lamps covering 400sq ft tho

it sounds like you've got a killer setup, but watch it carefully-a clogged sprayer or other malfunction could end up killing plants real fast.

400w High Pressure Sodium = 45,000 lumens 8x2=16 16/45,000= 2812
So your going to need another HPS or just get a 1000w

To save $8 a month LOL should just get two 400w HPS. Thats 5624 lumens pre sq ft. Thats more then the sun

??? 2 400W is not anywhere near as powerful as the sun, even if they are right on top of the canopy

The sun produces 75K-100K lux on the ground in direct sunlight - roughly 10,000 lumens per sq ft. this is impossible to obtain even with aircooled 1000W HPS

plus the suns actual color temperature is 5800 degrees K, which is quite different from HPS lights at 1900 degrees K.

I agree...The sun is the best..even on a cloudy day..cant touch it..:bolt::bong:

Nothing like a 10 million gigawatts of full spectrum lighting.

I bid you good luck and green mojo. 400 clones is a butt load, It will take a lot of mothers to get that many. I hope it doesn't become to overwhelming for ya. I would start out small and work your way up.

Good luck

Still working on setting everything up. I made a few small changes to the design instead of making cuts into the main tube, I've decided to just go with PVC TEEs it'll be a little more pricey but is saving boatloads of time.

yeah I agree that 400 clones is quite a bit. Being that I have the two rooms to work with I've decided to make one room flower and the other veg.

As for mothers I will only keep one mother of each strain. The mothers will only be kept for insurance purposes. Due to the size of my operation I plan on taking clones from the plants before they go into flower. This way I only have to take one single clone from each plant plus a few extra just in case.

This method will also help to keep the electric company from having to send away to NASA to calculate my bills.

Also, once the rooms are done I will post all the pics and instructions as best I can in case someone else would like to try. I also plan on keeping detailed data as to how the process will work.

I think that there are other advantages to using tees. Your net pot sits higher, so the pot is not actually taking up space within your horizontal pipe. You can also put a short piece of pipe in the tee to raise the net pots even further, helping to prevent the roots from becoming tangled messes that can clog the main 4" horizontal pipe.
